How AI Deploy works
AI Deploy is a connector that links your AI assistant to your 5wire hosting, so you can build a website in chat and take it live in one sentence. Here is exactly how to set it up and what it can do.
The basics
What AI Deploy is
AI Deploy is an MCP server, a secure connector that your AI assistant talks to. Once connected, your assistant can build your site and, with your approval, set up hosting, a database, your domain and SSL, and publish, all from inside the same conversation. You never leave the chat, and no passwords or keys are ever pasted into it.
Setup
Get started in four steps
Choose a plan and create your account
Pick a 5wire Web Hosting plan and check out. Your hosting account is set up at checkout, and AI Deploy is included at no extra cost.
Add the connector to your AI assistant
In Claude, open Settings, then Connectors, and add a custom connector pointing at the 5wire AI Deploy endpoint. Any assistant that supports the Model Context Protocol works the same way.
https://ai-deploy.5wire.co.uk/mcpSign in to the 5wire Billing Portal
The first time your assistant uses the connector, you are sent to the 5wire Billing Portal to sign in with OAuth and multi factor authentication. Approve access and you are returned to the chat. No API keys, no passwords in the conversation.
Signing in uses your normal 5wire account. If you are already signed in to another 5wire account in your browser, sign out first so you connect as the right one.
Build, then say deploy
Describe your site to your assistant and preview it. When you are ready, say deploy. AI Deploy shows you what it will do, you approve, and your site goes live in minutes.

After launch

Everything you did to launch, you can do again later, just by asking: add another domain, create a new database, update DNS, roll back a change, or open a support ticket. Our UK team is on hand 24/7, with daily backups behind every account.
Help
Troubleshooting
My assistant cannot find the connector
Check the endpoint is entered exactly as https://ai-deploy.5wire.co.uk/mcp and that your assistant supports MCP connectors. Reopen the connector settings and try connecting again.
I got signed in as the wrong 5wire account
Your browser reused an existing 5wire session. Sign out of the 5wire Billing Portal, disconnect the connector, and connect again to sign in as the right account.
It says my deploy is blocked
Deploys are available once your plan is active. If you have just signed up, give the account a minute to finish setting up, then try again.
I need a hand
Our UK based team is available 24/7. Ask your assistant to open a support ticket, or contact us from your account.
